Making Custom Sanding Sticks

Finishing your jewelry creations properly, can make a huge difference in the final overall look and appeal of your piece. If you make a lot of jewelry, you know that sandpaper and sanding sticks are a must-have on your jewelry bench. In this tool demo, learn to make your own sanding sticks in just minutes, to save money and get the look and shine you desire.

Using Kiln Wash

Keeping your kiln shelf clean is important to ensure your creations fire properly. During the firing process, glass, enamels, glazes and other materials can stick to your ceramic shelf. Anything that sticks to the shelf would need to be ground away, leaving a gouge on an expensive shelf. Kiln Wash is an inexpensive and easy solution to maintaining your kiln furniture.
